Time for a first thread!
On my new '03 RKC I have "passing lights" as you all know I'm sure. My question is...What is the general consensus on when to use these lights and why. I've seen many people ride with them at all times (running lights so to speak) and many with them off.
First thought would be that the more lights the more visable you are; but I wonder if at night an optical illusion effect could occur. By this I mean the three lights giving the appearance that they could be car headlights far off or lights from something other than a vehicle altogether. Am I just over thinking this? Does anyone have any experiences that relate?
Also, using them as passing lights like they are called, is complicated by the (correct me if I'm wrong) asinine placement of the switch; on the throttle side. That requires you to reach over with left hand to activate.
Anybody done a "switch switch"? (Aux. with passing light) I would think this would be easy enough (that means it is sure to be a real pain ).
Appreciate any input...Thanks in advance.
